A sweet locale for a location shoot....


We had to be up in Denver for business a couple of weeks ago and stayed at The Oxford...

picture from their website, HERE

Just up from Union Station...


across from where I finally found a parking space on the seventh level of a tiny parking garage in our four door Chevy truck, but that is another story...

The Oxford was Denver's first luxury hotel in 1891, providing the steamed hot water and a water closet on every floor in the time of bathing in tin tubs and outhouses. 

And, oddly, the day after Prohibition ended in 1933, The Cruise Room...


 opened and has been open ever since...

 The literature on the back of the cocktail menu says "some think it was a Speakeasy. Uhhh. ya, there is no doubt there..

looking at the narrow little entrance that I could just imagine as a false front...hat check room perhaps?


I did a quick Google search and I can't find anywhere a movie has used The Cruise Room for a location shoot. That can't be true, this space is too cool and red...No extra mood lighting required.
